GRANADILLA AND MINT MUFFINS

500 ml cake flour
125 ml castor sugar
15 ml baking powder
100 g butter, cut into cubes
125 ml fresh mint, finely chopped
1 x 170 g can granadilla pulp
buttermilk
1 extra-large egg
60 ml icing sugar
15 ml lemon juice

Sift the flour, castor sugar and baking powder into a mixing bowl. Rub in the butter, then add the mint. Pour the granadilla pulp into a measuring jug and add just enough buttermilk to make up 250 ml. (± 125 – 150 ml). Beat in the egg, then add this mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Spoon into a muffin pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake at 200°C for about 20 minutes. Remove from the pan and place on a cooling rack.
For the icing, combine the icing sugar and the lemon juice to form a thick glace icing. Spoon over while the muffins are still warm or drizzle over when cool.
